Alpine skiing is the downhill races where skiers have to go through gates and cross the finish line they are judged only by their time it takes to complete the course.
Cross country skiing is across flat ground and up and down smaller hills. It is a course that is designed horizontally and requires the athletes to use a combination of leg strength and upper body strength to propel themselves through the course rather than relying upon gravity to take them down a hill.
Freestyle skiing is also a downhill event that includes technique of some kind or jumps. Judges score this event based upon an athletes performance, skill, form, difficulty of tricks they perform and add bonus points to their score for time. For example moguls is a freestyle skiing sport where an athlete starts at the top of and has to contend moguls (large mounds in the hill strategically placed) as they proceed down the course and go off of two separate jumps doing tricks to score points with the judges.
